Chapter 187 Five Surnames United

According to the military system of the Tang Dynasty, the Sixth Army of Beiya and the Sixteenth Guards of Nanya jointly defended the capital, with a total number of approximately hundreds of thousands. The Sixth Army of Beiya was slightly larger in size, and the Shenwu Army ranked behind the Yulin Army and Longwu Army. The back is unobtrusive, which can give Li Xiang military power without being too conspicuous.

The emperor was really attentive. Li Xiang only had 6,000 men on the battlefield, which was enough to accommodate all of them. In the eyes of the two generals, Li Xiang was indeed very favored. Even his own officers and soldiers on the front line were Being able to bring it back would have created the history of the Tang Dynasty.

As for Li Xiang's title, the emperor has not promoted him at all. He is still the original county king. Li Xiang is an emperor's grandson after all. If Li Xiang is to be promoted to prince, he must establish his position as the emperor's grandson. , but the emperor did not do so this time. It seems that there is another deep meaning.

Of course, Li Xiang didn't care about this. Compared with the false reputation of an emperor's grandson, the army in his hands was the most important, especially the six thousand army that had gone through battlefield experience and could withstand tens of thousands of troops at critical moments.

"Thank you Lord for your kindness..."

Everyone got what they wanted, and basically everyone was happy. Fighting on the battlefield is dangerous, but if you win the battle, it also represents a progress in life. The generals present are all Very happy.

Some people want to be stationed locally, some people want to return to the capital, and some people want to be transferred to other places. This is all decided by the Ministry of War after careful consideration and then asking the emperor for approval. After all, after being tempered by the fire of war, these people We all have a very deep friendship, and if we can't let them stay together, they will easily form a mountain, so it is better to separate them. Everyone has already begun to say goodbye at this moment.

In accordance with the requirements of the imperial edict, everyone was given three months' leave. During these three months, they had to rush back to their homes. These people's homes are all far apart, and it is estimated that they will be gone in the next two days. It's time to set off. There may be opportunities to meet each other in the future, but there won't be too many.

"Uncle."

On the city wall of Liangzhou City, Li Xiang finally had the opportunity to talk to Changsun Wuji. Both of them were the ones that the generals wanted to visit. Changsun Wuji was the most trusted person by the emperor. If the generals wanted to talk to Changsun Wuji, If Wuji builds a good relationship, he will be considered someone in the court in the future.

As for Li Xiang, he is even more popular. The emperor appointed Li Xiang as the general of Zuo Shenwu Army. This is an exceptional promotion. The emperor started his career in the army. Li Xiang is also the first among the princes and grandsons to control the army. This Don’t you understand the meaning? If you don't understand, then your brain has deteriorated too much.

Even if some generals have never spoken to Li Xiang, they still have to go there and become familiar with them. If Li Xiang really ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor in the future, they can be regarded as people who have fought with His Majesty the Emperor. Thick resume.

So the two of them had always wanted to find an opportunity to talk, but unfortunately there were people everywhere around them. After a long time, they finally found an opportunity.

"After all, you are someone who has been on the battlefield, and you have become much calmer. I have heard about you. You performed well on the battlefield. Your future will be bright after you return to the capital."

Looking at Li Xiang in front of him, Changsun Wuji was also filled with emotion. Changsun Wuji himself was the one who supported Li Chengqian the most, but Li Chengqian had no choice but to take away his position, so Changsun Wuji turned to support Li Tai and Li Zhi, but These two guys kept Changsun Wuji hesitant. Later, Li Xiang suddenly emerged, so Changsun Wuji adopted a wait-and-see strategy.

However, Li Xiang did not give Changsun Wuji a chance. Instead, he tied Changsun Wuji up with business. From that time on, even if Changsun Wuji did not express his position, most people understood that he had already formed a relationship with Li Xiang. It's a family now.

"I'm just learning from the two generals. As for these things in the army, I still don't understand them. Let's learn them slowly when we go back."

Li Xiang said very humbly, and Changsun Wuji nodded with satisfaction. If Li Chengqian had this attitude back then, how could he have become like this? Having achieved such great achievements on the battlefield, even a person of Changsun Wuji's age may feel a little distraught. Li Xiang can still maintain such a mentality. It is hard to believe that this is a fourteen-year-old person.

"Hurry up and deal with things here. When you should go back to the capital, go back to the capital. No matter how great achievements you have made outside, if you leave the capital for too long, it is equivalent to leaving the center of the imperial court. Sometimes you have to You have to be careful, it’s not a good thing to be away from the center of power for too long.”

Changsun Wuji patted Li Xiang on the shoulder. Li Xiang also agreed with what he said. He had been away from the capital for a long time. Various things happened in the capital. Some people spoke for him. Some people secretly slandered him. Anyway, there are all kinds of people. However, when the emperor's decree came down, some of these people were happy and some regretted. Li Xiang also wanted to return to the capital to see what they were like.

"About the grassland auction?"

Li Xiang had already thought about it and was going to let Zhi Daobao do this, but looking at the expression on Chang Sun Wuji's face, it seemed that this matter had not been taken care of.

"I have also read the letter you wrote. I also gave advice to the emperor. I also hope that we can get this job, but unfortunately our strength is not strong enough..."

Changsun Wuji said with some guilt, although Li Shimin is the emperor, the major families are too powerful. If they don't know how to balance, then all kinds of things will happen one after another. So this time about the grassland auction, Li Xiang is afraid that It is impossible to get involved.

"Cui family or Li family? Or Wang family?"

Li Xiang thought about the five surnames and Qi Wang. If anyone could still take food from his mouth, it should be them.

"Five Surnames United."

When Changsun Wuji said this, Li Xiang was stunned. When he left Chang'an, weren't these families already fighting fiercely? At the time, I thought this was a good sign, as I would be able to break them up after returning, but I didn't expect that they would actually get together again after only a few months away.

It's right to think about it. With Li Xiang's current power of victory, he can't even get such a thing. It can be imagined how strong the opponent is. Li Xiang also expected their strength, but what he didn't expect was Can they unite...
